A Brush With Love is a delightful novella! Rachel Hauck is an excellent storyteller and shares an important message is this beautiful story. I enjoyed the main characters, Ginger and Tom, and their emotional and spiritual journeys. I would love to continue their story! A Brush With Love is another wonderful addition to the Year of Weddings series!

I received a complimentary copy of this novella through Litfuse Publicity. All thoughts expressed are my own and no monetary compensation was received.

I really enjoyed this well-written story about seeing yourself as Jesus sees you. I really felt for Ginger and the rejection she felt because of her scars. She actually had physical scars from a fire that she covered with scarves, so I think the book description is a little misleading. Tom was such an amazing man of God! To not only see past the scars to who she really was, but to show her God's love so she comes to Christ rather than putting his own feelings first was wonderful to see. There were tears in my eyes at different parts of this story, especially the ending. This story was truly beautiful. I highly recommend it if you like romance or need a reminder about how much Jesus loves you!

I'm a huge fan of Rachel Hauck, and she pulled off a great novella with A Brush with Love. It's hard to truly develop a full story with interesting characters in so few pages, but Hauck manages to do just that. I truly enjoyed every aspect of this story and was sad to see it end.

How many romance stories have you read where the girl isn't the most beautiful girl in the world? Not many. Well, in this story, Ginger is beautiful, but because of a past tragedy which has left her covered with scars, she believes she is ugly. I loved this aspect of the book. The way Tom befriended her and helped her learn to see herself the same way he does. Beautiful.

If you're looking for a romantic story with a little more depth and a sweet end, A Brush with Love is just the story for you. [5 stars]

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher through Litfuse Publicity in exchange for my fair and honest review.

Ginger is a famous and gifted hairstylist and has worked with a well known country singer among her accomplishments. She appears to be a sweet girl, with very low self-esteem. She does seem to have a good reason for hiding, but she really is a beautiful person.

Tom Jr is back in town and is facing his daemons, but he has turned his life over to God. Being back in the same town he was rushed out of in the dark of night, had to be a bit scary. I didnt get that impression from him at all; he is such a bubbly and caring person that ends up singing in the street. Yes, he does.

Turns out that Tom appears to have a thing for Ginger, but she can and rather will not accept a compliment, or even a date. Ginger has a big hurt as far as Tom is concerned, he invited her for a date and then never showed, and of course that was when his family left in the middle of the night. She felt he could have called!

Can Ginger ever trust him again? Will the town accept Tom after the shame? Will Ginger ever make it through her friends wedding as their hairdresser?

There are some really funny happens here, and this becomes quite the page-turner. Wait until you see what happens in the mud, which at first I really felt bad about!

This could be anyone, but Ms. Hauck has placed me/you in this characters shoes, and we deal with her pain, and happiness.

10 stars ********** out of a possible five

Contemporary romance

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!! I would like every friend, every girl to hear it from the rooftops. Too often I have heard in the last few weeks, grandmothers and aunties talking about this or that girl being beautiful. After reading this novel, I hope I am brave enough to remind each and every one of them that yes, the girl is beautiful, and if she loves Jesus she is awesome. Rachel is an amazing author, and though because of word restraints, since novellas by definition are shorter than novels, she was able to pull me right into the story and I felt the angst, the hurt and disillusionment that were Ginger's life. I felt Shana's anguish as she unburdened her heart, and know too that if the right circumstances had come, it might have been me who judged her. God is Love, and he makes everything beautiful.
